With the Christmas period fast approaching, An Garda Síochána are asking people to be vigilant when purchasing gifts and high value items, and ensure they are not left visible in parked vehicles.
Gardai are reminding people that items left in parked vehicles for long periods could present an opportunity for a thief, particularly if the items are visible inside the vehicle.
Gardai are also advising people to be wary of fraudulent websites when buying goods online. Shoppers should ensure that they are buying goods from an official company website.
They should also check their credit card account or bank account to ensure the correct sum of money is taken from the account in any online transaction.
